Your Rivers Are Wrong

By: Merle and Dante
  • Summary

  • Two people across the ocean talk worldbuilding and storytelling! "The possibilities are truly infinite within the worlds built by one's imagination. Two very easily distracted people ponder on the impact and art form of worldbuilding in every medium of creativity, from TV to tabletop games. From New York to the Netherlands, every week we a new topic to the transatlantic table, and afterwards round out the episode with an improvised worldbuilding prompt."
